you might be a rieger rocco owner if...

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

- when you're first in line at the red light, beside various muscle cars, 
they find the urge to rev their engine and act like idiots, peeling away 
when the light turns green, as you just drive normally, further solidifying 
their idiocy.

- you risk back trauma every time you mount your rear wheels.

- you have to drill holes in the bottom of your body panels, as you have 
found them to be trapping rain water, acting like reverse pontoons.

- you pull up to the vw dealership and their lead salesman walks up to you 
saying "wow!, what is this car!!!".

- with a simple attachment, you can mow dauns lawn in 4 minutes flat.

- after your tire order, tire rack calls you not once, but twice, verifying 
that you do in fact want to put 275's on a vw scirocco.

- even weighing 123 lbs, your 'ass' is still bigger than josh ables.

- everyone assumes its rwd (well, everyone who doesnt know its a rocco / 
vw). i know, i know, it IS a shame, but when im done with the twin, i plan 
on fixing this minor issue.

- you have so much rubber on the road, you can achieve and sustain a 1.02g 
radius turn (gtech pro in continuous gfrc mode, on pretty nice asphalt)... 
on street tires (kuhmo - 235 / 275 - 3/4 tread remaining).

- little kids chase your car down more often than stray dogs.


o well, im fresh out, feel free to add if you wish.
enjoy
